Former full-time musician and teacher, Dawn left Philadelphia to study Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine in Los Angeles, with a further certificate in acupuncture for neurology in Beijing.

She was initially drawn to herbal medicine, which continues to be an essential part of her Chinese medical practice. She has a deep commitment to affordable acupuncture and underserved communities, and has volunteered in clinics in the US, Panama, Nepal, India, and Vanuatu.

Dawn enjoys long-distance hiking, having completed several thru-hikes over the last few years. She continues to perform music on a regular basis with groups including West Philadelphia Orchestra, Swing That Cat, and Polkadelphia.
